Chapter Seven:
Things went back to the way they were the next day, except Shaggy avoided Velma whenever they were together with the others. Fred and Daphne had noticed there was some tension between Velma and Shaggy but no one never brought it up.
Two weeks went by and there was rumors going around school that there was going to be a slumber party coming up. Everyone was invited and Daphne thought it was a good idea to go, she mentioned it one time during lunch time when they all sat together.
"Is anyone going to be busy during the weekend?" she asked, Daphne's face lit up when she saw that Fred answered first.
"I'm not going to be really busy, babe, probably going to be with you of course." Fred gave Daphne a kiss on the cheek and she smiled. Velma looked away, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms together. Seeing couples made Velma sick, especially since she had feelings for Shaggy for still.
"I'm going to bring a friend along with me," said Shaggy, this was the party that Greg had been talking about last time.
"Well, that is groovy, me and Fred are going for sure. What about you, Velma?" said Daphne, looking over at Velma. Shaggy noticed that Velma tensed up.
Velma felt Shaggy's gaze on her, it made her stomach flip and tighten into knots. "Yeah, sure, I'll go if you guys are going," said Velma, she stood up. "I'm going to head off..." she walked away from the group, she felt his gaze on her back.
Shaggy felt a sinking feeling in his stomach, the one chance that he'd be with the girl of his dreams and he had messed it up.
I am such an idiot.
Velma looked at her reflection, she wanted to hide the reject and pain by putting on a little bit of makeup. Daphne had always wanted to doll her up, she had an image in her head of how Velma would look if she changed up her style a bit. For the party, Daphne let Velma put on one of her outfits that Daphne never really wore ever.
"You look so cute, I swear!" exclaimed Daphne.
"You think so?" asked Velma. Velma wore some black heels with her black skirt that had tiny roses, she wore some dark tights under her skirt then she had a peach color crop top sweater that had a white collar popping out of the crop top sweater.
"Hell yes! You look so gorgeous," Daphne smirked, she was looking at her own reflection on the mirror then. "But not as gorgeous as me." Daphne laughed it off a bit, Velma smiled back and shrugged slighty.
You've always been a bit full of yourself. thought Velma.
"So are you ready to go show sexy self off at the party?" asked Daphne, "I'm pretty sure you'll get some cuties looking at your way tonight, honey."
Velma chuckled at the thought of that, feeling a bit insecure she said, "I truly doubt that honestly."
"I know that Shaggy has you feeling blue but you got to focus on you, V." said Daphne, placing her hand on Velma's shoulders. "There is plenty fish in the sea."
I hate that quote so much. thought Velma.
"If you say so," said Velma, "I'm just going to try have as much fun as I can."
"That's the spirit, girl!" said Daphne, giving a sideways hug to Velma.
There was loud honk from outside, Daphne gasped looking very excited. "That's my baby, Freddy. Let's go before he drives off without us." said Daphne, joking around. Velma stood up, almost tripping, she was never used to using heels.
"Oh boy, jinkies." said Velma following Daphne out her bedroom.
"Aye, how do I look?" asked Greg.
Shaggy was on the couch, smoking a joint when he look to the back where Greg was standing by his bed. Greg had shaved and gotten a fresh haircut, his long brown curls side swept across his forehead. He wore a large sized Nirvana shirt and some ripped skinny black jeans, he had many necklaces and bracelets on.
"Uh, nice." replied Shaggy.
"Aw, I was hoping you'd say I look cute." said Greg walking over to the couch and stealing the joint from Shaggy lips. Greg smoked half the joint in one puff, a big fog of smoke coming out from his nostrils. "The fuck are you wearing man?"
Shaggy rolled his eyes, he really wasn't trying for the party tonight but he wore a long sleeve shirt and some jeans. "Does it really matter? It's just a party." Shaggy replied.
"Not just any party, man." said Greg, grabbing a bag of weed off the coffee table. "This is gonna be a stoned party."
Shaggy shrugged, "Alright." he stood up and looked into Greg's eyes.
"But just know that my friends are going to be there." said Shaggy.
"Like Velma?" asked Greg.
"Yes, so like, you need to keep it lowkey at the party." Shaggy pointed towards the bag of weed in Greg's hand.
Greg chuckled, he grabbed his cap and placed it backwards on his head and grabbed the keys. "Trust me, I always keeps everything on the low." Greg gripped the back of Shaggy's neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss.
Shaggy tensed up, not kissing him back.
The music was so loud and so many people were drinking that night, so many people fooling around and drama was being made but then there that large variety of party animals getting stoned. Greg was making a lot of money throughout the whole evening and watching the whole room turning foggy and the people get high made him laugh in the inside.
Shaggy had been walking around throughout the whole evening, wondering when his friends would get there. He did not want to be associated with Greg whatsoever and Greg understood that because as long as he was making money that night, he really could have cared less.
But then in that moment, Shaggy's friends got there and everyone in the crowd had been looking towards Velma's way. Many were shocked to see how beautiful Velma looked, some looked away not really caring who Velma was. For Shaggy, he felt his throat dry up and he felt a warm feeling spreading all around in between his legs.
Pretty Girl by Hayley Kiyoko started playing
Greg had noticed as well, he was unsure as to who the girl was. He had never seen Velma before ever so he didn't know that this was the girl that Shaggy had fallen in love with. Greg had literally felt time freeze when he saw Velma, her brown eyes shining behind her glasses. In that moment, Greg just knew that he had to get this girl.
🎶 I can see you're real smart, world class piece of art, I can see you in the dark. All we have to do is start 🎶
Shaggy went up to Velma, he cleared his throat. "Hey Velma, you look really pretty tonight." he said.
Velma felt her cheeks heat up, "Thank you..."
🎶 I just wanna tell you that you're really, pretty girl. I just wanna know if you will let me, be your world 🎶
Greg noticed Shaggy go up to the girl, he shook his head and thought to himself that he could get this girl to have more interest in him. Why the hell would this hot chick ever go for an idiot like him?
🎶 You're the one I like. I will find a reason tonight, feel it all, despite the fact that you don't like my type 🎶
"You look cute too, Shaggy." said Velma, she smiled at Shaggy. Shaggy rubbed the back of his neck, he felt someone bump into him and he looked at the person who bumped into him. It was Greg.
"Well aren't you gonna introduce me to your friend?" asked Greg enthusiastically.
Fuck...no thought Shaggy.
Velma looked at the guy in front of her, he was pretty attractive, something about his blue eyes intrigued her. Shaggy noticed the instant connection between them and felt jealousy.
"Are you always this annoying?" said Shaggy towards Greg, giving him a look.
"No, but when I see a cute girl, I just got to know her name." replied Greg, he winked at Shaggy
"My name is Velma..." said Velma, speaking up. Greg looked back at Velma then, he looked at her up and down. He realized that this was the girl. The girl that Shaggy loved so much.
"Oh shit!" exclaimed Greg, looking at Shaggy and coughing nervously. Shaggy looked at Greg angrily.
"Well aren't you going to introduce me to Velma, Shaggy?" asked Greg.
Shaggy felt so much anger and jealousy but he held back. "Velma, this is my friend, Greg."
Velma smiled at Greg and she said, "It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too cutie." said Greg, sounding flirty.
Velma blushed.
"Me and Shaggy go way back, don't we?" said Greg, nudging Shaggy in the rib real hard.
Shaggy nodded and said, "Yeah, we do."
"Interesting, well I'm gonna go and get myself a drink." said Velma, walking past the two guys and going over to the table where all the booze was. Shaggy looked at Greg then.
"You better back the fuck off." said Shaggy. Greg held his hands up, trying to act innocent. "Hey, chill man, I didn't even know that was her."
"Well you know now so like back off, Greg." replied Shaggy, he walked away.
Greg shrugged and laughed, he told himself, "Backing off or not, she'll be mine at the end of this night."
